The volunteering opportunity will be taking place in term 2, where you will be committing one hour weekly, plus some prep time before your sessions.
Come volunteer with us to support the integration and growth of an Afghan refugee woman within our community, while discovering new cultures and expanding your global awareness. Grow and develop key skills, including communication and adaptability skills.
You will be part of a vibrant community of student volunteers and supported through a range of social events. We are 6 project leaders who believe in the power of making a small impact.
